Participant Flow

We recruited participants for a weight loss study comparing two programs involving diet, exercise, and stress management from the community using fliers, newspaper advertisements, online postings, and referrals at UCSF clinics. Participants were enrolled in 6 rounds from July 2009-February 2012. Assessments were completed in October 2013.

Measure
SHINE A
SHINE: Both groups will receive a diet and exercise based intervention aimed at eating a caloric intake that will maintain ideal body weight and increasing exercise. SHINE A will emphasize awareness of hunger and satiety cues, while SHINE B will receive more detained nutritional education.
SHINE B
SHINE: Both groups will receive a diet and exercise based intervention aimed at eating a caloric intake that will maintain ideal body weight and increasing exercise. SHINE A will emphasize awareness of hunger and satiety cues, while SHINE B will receive more detained nutritional education.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Population: Two women in Arm B had weight-related variables censored at 18 months due to pregnancy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 months

Population: 8 participants in Arm A and 3 in Arm B did not complete this self-report survey at 18 months.

We used the 10-item positive emotions subscale of the Differential Emotions Scale (DES; Izard et al., 1991) to assess the extent to which a participant experienced positive emotions in the prior week. Participants responded on a five-point scale (0 = not at all, 4 = extremely; total score possible range 0-40). We summed items to create a total score, with higher scores indicating more positive emotions.
